Sometimes there’s another Tempest in the group so we’d have a glut of support (very rare but still happens) so I’d switch to DPS. Here’s what I’m experimenting with:
It’s for PvP. I’ve noticed that my survivability is downright atrocious, but I know the correct disengage spots so I can get back into the fray (albeit with Lightning Flash and/or Eye of the Storm on cooldown). All elements are part of the rotation but fire is the star of the show as the expertise and baelfire runes . Sigil of transference (I run this on my aurashare build too) is so wash the pain away and water overload’s healing isn’t gutted too badly.
I almost beat even some Chronos with this build but usually whenever I engage them (since I seem to be the only one interested in retaking home instead of joining the pack who’s chasing some thief across the map) there’s a point when I’m forced to disengage so maybe I can incorporate more cleanses and L2P better. Daredevils personally give me way more trouble than Chronos however especially with this spec. I’m fragile with this build and know it so I suspect the skillcap is quite high. It isn’t just enough to disengage with focus but precise about it.
Tl;dr: A glass canon build that offers nothing in the way of passive defenses, maintains some aurasharing properties, but adds very strong pressure if played very well.
idk, but looks terrible to me. If I’m going to run the glassiest possible build in the game and die when a revenant looks in my general direction (you can literally be one-shot by unrelenting assault. it does 12k to light armor 0 toughness), I’d at least want some reliable burst damage out of it, but scepter is extremely unreliable.
It isn’t forgiving in the slightest but if I can minimize mistakes I should watch stuff blow up then disengage and add some defense where appropriate. I’ve downed people on this build but stomping isn’t safe since you’re going down soon too most likely.

Is that assuming all hits crit? Either way it’ll hit hard but I’ve had some close matches on it.
I’ve beaten people with Dan in Ultra Street Fighter 4 so I know if I have a handicap going in I’ll develop more skill in the long run to cope with bad defense. Unlike Dan however my build has some redeeming qualities and while getting focused isn’t fun being so squishy forces the player to be more aware of his mistakes and with sufficient skill I feel the build has potential to be quite rewarding. When I go back to aurashare I’d likely take this awareness with me.
In the picture I’ve seen that we had two druids and support has diminishing returns past two. In other words three support builds really isn’t ideal. Two is great, three is redundant, but with Mender’s aurashare I normally have some offensive utility anyway so…
i did test viper and its very squishy. Also water doesn´t realy fit here… Also transference sigil. Its like mixing support and damage leaving out defence and no healing power.
I like viper and can do serious damage with it using S/F but not with water traitline.
If you can handle viper great but the build is not a support build. You kill or loose.
So go fully agressive like this:
overload only when good (like fire on a dowend. Earth to break out). You do not camp fire but use it regulary. You rotate. Air and earth rotation is mandatory. Water hepls.
